PATTERN FOR BRlDLE-BLINKERS.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 325,836, dated September 8, 1.885.

Application filed April 4, 1985. (No model.) i

o all whom t may concern: A

Be it known that I, CHRISTIAN W. Hnss, of Brenham, in the county of Washington and State of TeXas, haveinvented certain new and useful Improvements in Patterns for Bridle- Blinkers, of which the following is aA specilication.

The 'object of this invention is to provide improved patterns for bridle-blinkers whereby the latter can be made cheaply by utilizing waste scraps of leather.

In the accompanying drawings, Figure 1 illustrates a bridle-blinker composed of these improved patterns in connection with the bridle. Fig. 2 is an enlarged view of a bridleblinker composed of these improved patterns.

Fig. 3 is a plan View of the pattern which constitutes the concavo-convex portion of the blinker. Fig. 4 is a plan view of the pattern constituting the upper flat portionof the blinker. Fig. 5 is a plan view of the pattern constituting the lower dat portion of the blinkcr. Fig.6 is atransverse section of a bri- Vdle-blinker composed of these improved pattcrns.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts in the diii'erent figures;

The `pattern A constitutes the upper Hat portion of the bridle-blinker, and comprises an approximately rectangular body, A', provided with a tongue, A. This pattern is bounded at its top and bottom by the short straight horizontal sides ct b, at its outer edge by the vertical side c, whereof the lower end forms a right angle with the bottom side, b, its upper end being below the plane of the 'top side, a, and by the inwardly-curved side d,connecting the top side, a, and vertical side c, and at `its inner edge by a short slightly curved or inclined side, e, which forms an obtuse angle with the top side, a, and an upwardly-curved side, f, extending between the side e and the bottom side, b.

The pattern C constitutes the lower dat portion of the blinker, and has a straight vertical side, j, and straight horizontal top and bottom sides, ik, at right angles thereto, its bottom side, lo, being shorter than its top side, t', a short slightly curved or inclined side, l, forming an obtuse angle with the top side, t', and

`a slightly curved or inclined side, m, between the side l and the bottom side, k.

The pattern B, which constitutes the concavo-convex part of the bridle-blinker, is approximately elliptical in form.

I claim as my invention- The patterns for a bridle-blinker consisting of the parts A, B, and C, substantially as herein described.

In testimony that I claim the foregoing as my invention I have signed my name in the 'presence of two subscribing witnesses.

CHRISTIAN W. HESS.
